*ADoS stands in the middle of a big clearing with a big bus with an enormous plastic spider on the top, its legs hanging down between the windows. He is wearing the cardboard hat again, once again with the ridiculous smile on his face. A couple people stare at it, then walk away, bored of all the stupid spider vehicles.* ADoS: Come one, come all! See the amazing Spider Bus! *Silence.* ADoS: Oh, whatever... Okay, the last two RPs I started both resulted in someone getting angry at me. So this time, I'm driving a bus around the block. Remember this rule, and we'll be fine: I am the driver. You are not the driver. I say we're driving around the block, and I mean it. No driving off on some road trip, no attaching rocket boosters and blasting off into space. Around the block. I might drive off somewhere else eventually, but probably not. It's up to you what's on the block, and how big the block is. But we are driving around the block, nowhere else. Got it? Can we handle this without throwing the community into an uproar? Join in if you wish, there's plenty of room on the bus. There's even a big empty space in the back, big enough for a dragon.

Sullust gets a small bus. Sullust: Hey any of you want on come now. ???: Where are you heading? Sullust: Wherever the road takes us. OOC: It is often better to let the players have more control ADOS. Note to anyone riding this bus, you may do anything to it. But if you break it we're going to have to push it to some gas station to fix it. -------------------- Lt.

I suppose so. Just as long as half the participants don't get off and go do something else. If you want to do that, start your own RP. You can quit whenever you want, though. *ADoS pulls out a grenade launcher and blows up Sullust's bus.* I said it's up to them how big the block is and what's on it. It could take up fifty square miles for all I care.

OOC: I'm just going to pretend that didn't happen. I'd also like to note that my bus will expand for as many people want to get on it. Even if none do, I'm still driving the little thing around. :P -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Sullust: Alright, I'll get you ADOS. He attempts to start the bus. Sullust: What?! The explosion must have burnt up all of my gas. I've got quite a bit of pushing to do now. Sullust walks out of the bus and begins slowly pushing it towards the nearest gas station. OOC: Perhaps a bus race? -------------------- Lt.

OOC: I believe you are confused. Mighty Paladin and ADOS are two different members. Or at least they were the last time I checked. IC: Sullust finally manages to push his bus all the way to the station. Sullust: Fill her up please. Attendant: I'm sorry sir, but we're all out of gas. Sullust: What?! Attendant: Some big bus came and needed to be fueled up. We emptied all our reserves filling that thing; It must have quite a large tank. Sullust: Where is the closest station. Attendant: It's about thirty miles away. Sullust walks up to the door of ADOS's Bus. It opens ADOS: Can I help you? Sullust: I need a ride. ADOS: Hop right on, there is room for everybody.

The pink nephil, eh, you all know me, hopped on to the bus, twirling lithely around the poles which people used to keep their balance. She made her way to the back, yowling "That's me On the beachside, combing the sand Metal meter in my hand Sporting a pocket full of change That's me on the street with a violin under my chin Playin' with a grin Singing gibberish That's me On the back Of the bus..." etcetera, etcetera. When she had finished, she slumped on to one of the greened seats and tried to begin conversation with the person nearest her, who diligently and earnestly began ignoring her. So she moved away from him. "Fine, be that way. OY, BUS DRIVER SIR, WHERE CAN I SET UP MY STUFF?" Although she was yelling quite loudly, Rosy's cries were drowned out by ADoS revving the engine of the bus, and he didn't reply. The nephil wasted no time in pulling 1 plastic Batman figurine 1 crucible 18 vials with various ingredients in them 1 spare pair of combat boots 3 spare pairs of earrings 2 litres of Skribbane 1 drunk cat 12 assorted CDs 28 cheap paperbacks 2 packets of Roasted Rat Snax 1 portable CD player and 9 tubes of hair gel out of her mohawk, and placing them around her in convenient positions. Oh yes. I'm back. With more improved cattitude... than ever before. [ Saturday, February 15, 2003 16:31: Message edited by: Rosycat ze Pink Nephil ] -------------------- Aces off.

Sir DAOvid, temporarily without his beautiful green armor (due to the strange looks people had started giving him), walked past the door and towards the back of the bus. He climbed up the side of it, then into a window in the back, probably created to let a dragon's smoke out. He sat down in a green seat happily, since he hated the color red. "I AM SIR DAOVID," he yelled. "NO REALLY," ADoS yelled. "Um... hmph." Sir David sat down again, careful to avoid the drunken cat that had somehow managed to curl up right behind him in the short time he had been standing up. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

quote:OOC: I think it is you who is confused. She said Paladine, not paladin. Paladine is the god of good in the Dragonlance D&D campaign setting. Read a couple Dragon Lance novels and you will find that saying "Oh Paladine!" is much like "OMG". IC: A security guard (the Half-Life sort) climbs onto the bus. On his left hip he wears a bowie knife and on his right, a holstered .357 Desert Eagle. He carries, you guessed it, a crowbar and an MP-5 submachine gun. "I suppose you will be needing a security guard around here, huh ADoS?" asks Sodium Cyanide. "I'd be great for the job." NaCN then walks back to find a place to sit and set up his stereo.

A black-clad figure, complete with ripped, studded, spiked, black leather cloak, which everyone remembers from the other RPs, clambers up the steps, using her Scythe as a walking stick, and plops down in the back next to the pink Nephil. "ATTENTION, EVERYONE!" she shouts. "I am the Grammar Wench. I will be monitoring the grammar on this bus. Anyone who confuses 'their' and 'they're', or similarly 'your' and 'you're', anyone who punctuates incorrectly, who uses 'u' in place of 'you', who uses numbers in place of words, i.e., '4' instead of 'for' or '2' instead of 'to,' will be summarily beheaded." This having been said, she sits back down and begins re-lacing her combat boots. "AND NO COMMA SPLICES!" she adds, as an afterthought. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man.

*ADoS walks up to Alec, smacks him in the head with his staff, and casts Resurrect on RoR.* ADoS: Get off the bus, Alec. Alec: I AM MAO! YOU ARE MAO ALSO. ADoS: No, you're Alec. Get off my bus! I don't allow people onto my bus if they're going to blow up my girlfriend. RoR: I am not your girlfriend! *RoR hits him over the head with her scythe.* ADoS: Ouch... OOC: No, it isn't like the mall thread. There's sure to be shops, but other stuff too. That thread is just discussions of purchases. This is driving around the block in a big bus. Well, maybe a block isn't good enough. Let's make it a road trip! *various cheers* Incidentally, it took about a day to drive around the block. Any suggestions for a new title?

The one drawback of omelettes, of any known size, is that they find it rather hard to get on buses. Instead, I will be stealing my Spiderprise character, Exar Kun... Suddenly, an explosion rocks the bus and a large hole appears in the roof. A strange, futuristic spaceship lowers itself through the hole and out climbs a robed figure, holding a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. EK: Hi all!

Rosycat was sitting on the floor beside the Grammar Wench, listening to the Pixies at a rather loud volume and reading a battered copy of So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. When Exar Kun made his dramatic entrance, she looked up briefly, turned down Where is My Mind? and grinned at him. "Hi! I'm Rosycat!" "Hey." "Nice bus, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Do you have any fresh, juicy bats for me to eat?" "Nope." "#@&$ you. Have a nice day." Then she turned her music back up and returned to her book, opening a packet of Roasted Rat Snax. -------------------- Aces off. Posts: 611 | Registered: Friday, January 3 2003 08:00 |

Wench held up a finger and began rummaging in her Voodoo Purse. "Hold on...no...that's not it..." She shrugged. "No bats, but I did find a mouse..." Handing Rosycat the mouse, she leaned back in her seat with her own heavily highlighted and bookmarked copy of Wuthering Heights, found some batteries for her Discman in the depths of her cloak and began singing along with the Goo Goo Dolls, intermittently shouting "Heathcliff, you jerk!" and banging the book against the back of the seat in front of her and settling back down to read as if nothing had happened. After a time, she paused the CD and poked her head over the back of the seat. "By the way, Alec, I'd watch the explosives if I were you.

On seeing the man in opaque black glasses enter the door, Sir Daovid ducked under the nearest seat. After RoR exploded, he crawled towards the front of the bus, and emerged in the seat next to the door. "Is the coast clear?" he whispered to ADoS. "WHA??? Oh, sorry, you startled me. Where'd you come from?" he responded. Sir Daovid jerked his head in Alec's direction; ADoS gave him a knowing look and said, "Not quite." At that moment Motrax entered the bus, and Sir Daovid yelled, "CONVERT TO TEH WAYS OF TEH RESISTANCE!" Then, noticing Alec and RoR coming towards him, looking angry (Alec for the attempted conversion, RoR for the bad spelling and possibly grammar), he ducked back under the seat and began crawling towards Mighty Paladin's seat, possibly hoping for protection.
